September 3, 2008 - “Things I Hate About Being Fat”
I am in Philly today and thought I would share some of the things that I hate about being fat. I realized I cursed once in the video near the beginning. I hope this video provides some insight with things tht I struggle with on a regular basis. This video is a bit longer than the previous videos.

Alan,
I just wanted to stop by, let you know that I had done and also let you know that I really understand what you’re saying.
I used to be severely overweight, lost a ton (not literally a ton obviously) and kept it off for years. The last year it’s slowly crept back up and i’m definitely at the point now where if i’m not careful i’m going to be right back to square 1 again.
It really is great what you’re doing here & the honesty your portraying. I’m really hoping you’ll stick with this & that I can hopefully go through it with you.
The one thing about this particular video I will say is that if there’s one thing I have learned is just to not think about how shit it is & rather think about how good it will be. I know you’ve probably heard that a dozen times, but just thought i’d share my two pennies.

Damn right. I’m not crazy overweight, but being overweight still dominates your thoughts.
“Are they looking at me? Do they think bad of me? Did this cute girl look away because I’m fat?”
Dieting at this level is far from easy too, because you’re right, you do have a “what’s one gonna hurt?” mentality. It takes tremendous willpower.
Keep up the good posts.

Allen, I wrote a comment here a couple of days ago. Did you remove it or is it just not accepted yet?.Z

oh, my fault Allen. That is strange…the comment didn’t appear until I pressed “say it” on the 2nd comment. Weird…anyway as long as you didn’t delete it. I’m a happy chappy. Felt like I was opening up a bit there that’s all.
